Hi, I've lived in Toronto my entire life and am now in my 50s. I went from driving exclusively for my commutes, to cycling exclusively over the past five years. It keeps me fit, and it is a quick way for me to commute, and as a bonus to everyone else in a car - THERE IS ONE LESS CAR ON THE ROAD THANKS TO ME!

Whenever I pass by intersections with Ghost Bikes - commemorative installations signifying the car-induced death of a cyclist - I say thanks to the city for installing bike lanes which will help keep me safe, and help make sure that my kids have the father they were born to.

I simply do not understand how putting me back in a car, or forcing me to cycle in traffic, helps the city or my family. Can someone explain?

Thanks,
Joshua, Toronto
